Hello Ulrich,
I contacted the author of the first implementation you mentioned, and he
responded that it's been a while since he used it, but that he should be able
to find it, and he'll send me a copy. Once I have a copy I'll let you know how
our versions match up feature-wise. With respect to the second implementation
you mentioned, I compiled it, and it seems similar to my version. There are a
few minor cosmetic and behavioral differences, but the two are comparable.
Honestly, I wish I had known about this version before I went ahead and
implemented mine. I think that shows, though, that it's important to have
useful code in a place where people can easily find it. I don't care which
version ends up in wxCode, as long as some version gets there, because I think
the control is useful. I did note, however, that the poster of the source code
mentions that the original code was found on the net, without specifying what
the original licensing scheme was.
I derived my control from the source code for a generic wxSpinCtrl, and I'm
willing to release my contributions under the wxWindow's license so that there
shouldn't be any licensing issue with my code.
Thanks for taking the time to evaluate my request. Please don't hesitate to
contact me if you need additional information.
Sincerely,
Paul Breen

Thank you for your notice.
As Ronan already said setting up a new wxCode component is a manual
process. Until today Francesco Montorsi acted as wxCode administrator,
but he was quite busy during the last weeks and months.
I'll try to take over his role as administrator and to perform the
necessary administrative tasks from now on.

No. If your component will be accepted you will get access to the wxCode
SVN and the wxCode web site repository where you can set up a page for
your component.
Although wxWidgets itself lacks a time picker control, I would like you
to check the following links before approving your component.
1) http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/MyTimerCtrl
It describes a time picker control which seems to be very similar to
your approach. Unfortunately the link to the source code archive is
broken, but maybe you could try to reach the author.
And here is another place with similar code:
2) http://thedailyreviewer.com/compsys/view/time-selection-control-11186220
In what respect is your component different from those implementations?
Are there or will there be additional features your component offers
that would make your component unique?
Regards,
Ulrich
